Hey you. Yes, the one with the 87 tabs open, 6 of which are titled “how to launch a startup.”
We’ve got something better:
An evening full of builders, dreamers, VCs, operators, and probably one guy still debugging his app at the bar.
❓What’s Going Down?
Startup+ IRL: the anti-cringe, pro-connection hangout for people in tech who actually like building stuff.
📍 Where: Sour Mouse, NYC (Map to venue)
🗓 When: Thursday, August 7
⏰ Time: Doors open 5pm
💬 Vibe: Come for the convo, stay for the chaos
🔥 What to Expect
✅ Founders with weird, wonderful, maybe-genius ideas
✅ Designers, devs & PMs who don’t take themselves too seriously
✅ VCs who want to hear your story (not your valuation)
✅ Cold drinks. Warm intros. Zero awkwardness.
What You Won’t Find
❌ Panels.
❌ People pretending to be busy.
❌ Someone trying to sell you their Web3 AI pet project (well… maybe just one).
💡 Why You Should Come
Because you keep saying:
“I should meet more people in tech.”
“I’ve got this idea, but haven’t told anyone yet.”
“It’d be cool to find a co-founder… or someone who gets it.”
This is your sign. No pitch deck required.
Just bring your curiosity (and maybe your weirdest idea). Who knows who you’ll bump into?
👀 True Story
Last time, someone met a co-founder.
Someone else met their next hire.
Another person found someone to split a pizza with and ended up building a prototype together.
This stuff happens. But only if you show up.
✨ RSVP Before It’s Too Late
This event will fill up. NYC moves fast, and so do the spots.
Let’s be real, if you’re gonna spend a Thursday night networking, make it one worth talking about.
We’ll see you there. 😎
Cheers,
